NexusFile an alternate to Windows Explorer



NexusFile v5.02

If you're tired of the limitations of Windows Explorer, you'd do well to try this free file manager, which significantly improves on Microsoft's underpowered one. For a start, it has a two-paned interface, which makes it simple to move and copy files between folders, either on the same PC or over a network. Windows Explorer, by contrast, has only a single pane, and this often requires that you open two instances of it to perform the simplest of tasks.

That's just a start, though. There are also a slew of other features, including hot keys for renaming, copying, and moving files, among other tasks. In fact, NexusFile makes just about any kind of file operation a breeze. Want to copy only the path of a file to the clipboard? It'll do that. It also makes it easy to archive files, add files to archives, and to extract files out of archives. Another useful feature is a built-in simple FTP applet.

If you've been frustrated by Windows Explorer, NexusFile may solve your problems. And given that it's free, there's no reason not to give it a try.
